Week 2

[airlockedmods]

[Other than the reappearance of the Overseer, there's no real change in the routine. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets.

No other floors unlock, but Cece and Kip will still be appearing randomly to chit-chat.

All you know is... something has to change soon.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[ Don't get your hopes up Rii ]

Chocolates? Oh! That's right, she does like chocolate, doesn't she?

[serrata]

That's right! And if you're going to take her something nice for dinner, a nice dessert is the perfect cherry on the top.

Are you any good at making chocolates?

[shikosuki]

M-Me?

I've made them once or twice with my brothers but... not really.

[ At least he can follow directions though ]

[serrata]

[ ... oh no.

There it is again. That smile. And now it's combined with her rolling up her sleeves and setting her hands on her hips. ]

Well! I can always show you if you'd like. Even if we don't have everything for homemade chocolate here there should be some molds we can use to melt down and shape some.

[shikosuki]

R-Really?!

Right now?

[serrata]

There's no time like the present, is there?

[ so yes, now. ]

And you want to get that omurice to her soon. So if you want to take some chocolate, we'll have to get it done soon.

[shikosuki]

O-Okay!

H-Having a girl help me should make it easier too...!

[ Because you know. Girls actually do this shit for V-day. He can't even remember the last time he gave someone a White Day present. ]

[serrata]

Do you have any idea of what kind of chocolate you'd like to make for her, then? Anything fancy? Or just some shapes?

[ Yuuri Wakasa: Champion Shipper On Deck ]

[shikosuki]

Um... I'm not sure... I don't really know what else she likes.

I just know she doesn't like mint... right?

[ why you no like chocolate mint ice cream Cece :< ]

[serrata]

Hm... how about a mix of milk and white chocolate, then? That might look nice and it'll taste a bit more interesting than plain chocolate. And we should have plenty of both!

[shikosuki]

...You think she'd like that? Don't a lot of people find white chocolate gross?

[serrata]

Maybe...? It wouldn't be so bad mixed with the milk chocolate, would it? We can always try a smaller batch just to see how it'll come out and then decide what to do for the real thing.

[shikosuki]

Hmm... well, it's worth a shot.

Honestly I thought my omurice was kind of bland before... maybe she's easy to please.

[ CHORO DON'T CALL YOUR CRUSH "EASY" ]

[serrata]

[ ... Useless is sounding about right... ]

... maybe don't say something like that right to her face...

[ please. listen to girl advice from a girl, Choro. ]

And besides! You can think of it as a learning experience. If you find out what she likes, you can make better chocolate for her in the future.

[shikosuki]

Right, right. So what do--

[ And then he remembers his second bath of edamame is still boiling ]

Um, could you grab what we need while I take care of these? [ He points to the pot. ]

[serrata]

Of course! Just tell me once you're ready and I'll get everything set out.

[ and off she goes. all they really need is some chocolate, a knife and a cutting board and a mold once they get the chocolate melted down. So she gets that all set out and waits. TIME FOR FOOD PREP. ]

[shikosuki]

[ doop doo taking care of that now~

Once the edamame are strained and cooling he calls out to Rii ]

Okay! I'm ready now!

[serrata]

Alright then!

[ HANDS ON HIPS. She's not going to do it for you Choro, you gotta get this all done yourself. ]

Break up all the dark and white chocolate and then take about a quarter from each one. And then chop that up as small as you can get the pieces.

[shikosuki]

Um, right...!

[ Getting to breaking them apart... ]

...This is about a quarter, yeah? [ Eyeing his portions ]

[serrata]

That looks about right... hm, maybe put a little bit of the white back rather than making it an even split down the middle. Just in case it comes out too strong.

[ he did say most people thing white chocolate is GROSS after all. ]

[shikosuki]

[ BECAUSE IT IS AND IT'S NOT EVEN REAL CHOCOLATE

He nods and puts some of it back, then starts chopping up the chocolate. It's a little bit sloppy, but more like someone who isn't used to dicing ]

[serrata]

[ well as long as you're not about to cut your fool hand clean off. ]

Make sure you chop it up into nice, small bits. That way, it should melt nice and smoothly and there shouldn't be any lumps or anything unpleasant in the chocolate when we put it into the molds.

[shikosuki]

Right...

[ after a while... ]

How's this?

[serrata]

That looks fine. Now we've just got to melt it.

[ And she'll just go rooting through the cupboards to find a heatproof bowl for them to use. ]

Is there still any water in that pan you were using before, or have you poured it all away?
